Thanks mate!

I've been code diving for medical shit and still can't figure out how patches work. From what the wiki says, a 30u styptic patch should apply 15u (half efficiency), and those 15u will heal 15 brute damage (heal brute equal to volume). But that's not what happens, and for some reason you can heal around 100 brute with a single mini-patch (15u). Just want a way to know exactly how much damage a specific volume of patch will heal, since it feels kind of random.

Experimenting with atmos, I found a fundamental difference in both gas pumps and volume pumps. One pumps to a specific pressure, the other pumps out gas at a rate, which happens to be liters per second, so a volume pump should be constantly pumping out gas until there is 0 liters in the input end. Strangely enough, it doesn't seem to matter what setting you put on the volume pump, it will pump at exactly the same speed. I created a test where an input canister would be connected to an output canister with a volume pump, the input canister being filled with air. I placed two of these tests next to each other, then I configured their volume pump settings. One would be at 200 L/s, the other at 10 L/s. When both volume pumps were activated simultaneously, they managed to fill up their respective output canisters to the brim at the same time. If it took 10 seconds for a 200 L/s volume pump to fully fill a canister, shouldn't it take 200 seconds for the other one? Even weirder, you can set volume pumps at 0 L/s and it works all the same. This is unintuitive to me, because how can a volume pump pump out 0 liters of gas every second and still work? In any case, I probably just don't know anything about how atmos works, but it's weird that the settings don't seem to change anything, I would think that they would work at different speeds. Maybe the test I did was too small or something. I really don't know, I'm no atmos tech (or coder), but I would like to know.

So I'm pretty new to the multiplayer experience of SS13 and this has been my first server. Had quite a lot of fun the first few rounds playing as a Wulferam Redwood in cargonia (I plan on a better name), which lent me an easy start into the game. I did however struggle with changes in gamemode and sudden antag roles, so I plan to look more on that. Overall, hope to have some more fun shifts and develop into a better player for others to enjoy. SS13 really has looked like my kind of game, coming from a background of Dorf Fort and a general interest in complex vidya gaem mechanics. Thanke danke for reading.
